Chapter 2166: Nephew (1)

Hongtian Academy, East Court.

The east courtyard was where the vice president lived, and there were a few small courtyards surrounding it.

Liang Yingyue and her son, as well as Liang Yingjun and his wife, lived in one of the small courtyards.

When Lu Zijia brought her seven little companions near the small courtyard, she felt that there were a few jindan xiuzhe hidden around the small courtyard. It was likely that the vice headmaster had arranged for them to protect the people in the small courtyard.

The few jindan xiuzhe probably knew Lu Zijia and did not appear to stop her from approaching the small courtyard.

The door of the small courtyard was not closed. Lu Zijia quickly glanced inside and did not see anyone. She knocked on the door of the courtyard and waited for a while, but no one came out.

Lu Zijia’s eyes flashed with confusion.

When Du He contacted Kou Sun, he would also briefly mention the situation of Liang Yingyue and the others in the academy.

Hence, Lu Zijia knew that her cousin Liang Yingjun and his daughter-in-law Cheng Xin ‘er had accepted a mission from the academy and were training outside.

His cousin, Liang Yingyue, was in seclusion, trying to break through a small realm.

Therefore, only the nine-year-old Liang Yu was left in the small courtyard.

Of course, Liang Yingyue still arranged for someone to take care of her son. After all, no matter how mature her son was, he was still a child.

Was there no one in the small courtyard?

But that wasn’t right. If there was no one in the small courtyard, the xiuzhe protecting the surroundings shouldn’t still be around the small courtyard.

Lu Zijia stepped into the small courtyard with doubts in her heart.

Lu Zijia walked around the small courtyard but still could not find her. She could not help but feel depressed.

“Master, could it be that your little nephew was kidnapped by a strange uncle?”

The big snow wolf rolled its eyes and made a bold guess.

Lu Zijia was speechless. Did this big snow wolf really think that the xiuzhe hiding around the courtyard were useless?

Moreover, even if the xiuzhe around the courtyard were useless, the guards in charge of the academy’s safety would definitely not be unaware!

Especially when the Vice President had sent more guards to patrol, the possibility of a mistake was still very low.

After Lu Zijia was done complaining about Da Bai, she released a huge amount of soul power to cover the entire courtyard.

Soon, Lu Zijia found her target.

Lu Zijia walked to the flowers with a strange expression. When she saw the child sleeping soundly among the flowers, the corners of her mouth twitched.

This little nephew of hers was really special!

She actually liked to hide in the flowers and sleep, not afraid of snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

“Wow! Master, your little nephew has become a sleeping beauty!”

Jinta suddenly screamed, startling Lu Zijia, who was speechless.

He raised his hand and gave her a merciless smack.” You brat, can you stop being so shocked? If I have a weak heart, I’ll have a heart attack because of you!”

Jinta, who had been knocked on the head, held his cat head aggrievedly.” Master, you’re a xiuzhe. How could you have a heart attack?”

Master, as a xiuzhe, always pretending to be a weak mortal, how could you be embarra.s.sed?

Lu Zijia, who did not know that Jinta was complaining in her heart, raised her hand and gave it another blow.” I was just using a metaphor. Do you understand metaphor?!”

Lu Zijia rolled her eyes to show her disdain.

In the short time that the cat and the man were talking, the little boy who was sleeping soundly in the bushes seemed to have sensed something. He frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes after a long while.
